EXCITING news for the women and children, indeed for the families, of the Shepparton region!
WomenCAN Australia is proud and happy to be launching our first Shepparton project, which will support 20 women from diverse backgrounds into Early Childhood Education and Childcare traineeships in the Greater Shepparton LGA.
We’re doing it in collaboration with Greater Shepparton Foundation, Greater Shepparton City Council, Bowden Marstan Foundation and GOTAFE.
WCA supports women into employment and education through our unique evidence-based, peer-led, peer-driven support for women by women with shared lived experience, The Placement Circle.
This support is crucial: many of the women might not have English as their first language, so navigating the system can be daunting. And a lot of the women may have been out of the workforce caring for others.
We give them confidence, connections, and certified skills. We remove barriers.
For the past 10 weeks, we’ve been delighted to team with The Adviser to herald this initiative and to introduce WomenCAN Australia.
Interested employers, trainees and members of the public, why not come along to the launch on February 15, 2024 at Common Ground Cafe, GOTAFE (152-200 Fryers St), and discover the opportunities of WomenCAN Australia’s ‘earn & learn’ model? There will be afternoon tea, meet and greet opportunities and guest speakers.
Children are the world’s future. Helping them learn in their early years can be your future. We are here to help you make that happen.
